Those numbers are somewhat correct. For example the New York takeout figures are only for the NYRA tracks. Finger Lakes has a differnt rate as do the New York harness tracks. Good Luck.

That is just sickening to me. That's one reason I gave up horses before I ever started. Just can't imagine how good some of the horse guys are to outrun a hold % like this. I struggled for years to be a winner at poker and the rake was almost nonexistant when compared to this.
